  • Added hikes #1 through #11 on my 52 Hike Challenge 2018 page. Note: I only included different hikes in Angeles National Forest that go to one of the 12 peaks in my 12-Peak Challenge, so I didn’t do what I set out to do. I did, however, get 52 hikes in this year.

New Page Additions October Through December 2017.

Below is a list of links to new and updated pages between October and the end of December 2017. Although I was able to get on the trail more than last quarter, unexpected off trail distractions continued this quarter. As a result, not much happened on the trail or this blog.

My favorite hike this quarter was my loop hike from Three Points to Mt. Waterman. I enjoyed the sunset hiking the part hiker’s trail, part cross-country route down the west ridge of Mt. Waterman. By the time I made it back to Three Points, the supermoon was out and lighting the way at a brightness that felt as if there were streetlights on the trail (12-3-2017).

New Page Additions July through September 2017.

Below is a list of links to new and updated pages between July and the end of September 2017. Unexpected off trail distractions (including a mild injury) were many this quarter. As a result, not much happened on the trail or this blog. I only managed to do five hikes. Hopefully, things will settle down and I can get more hiking in and create more pages between now and the end of the year.

My favorite hike this quarter was on a hot day where I started from Cloudburst Summit and hiked down to Cooper Canyon Campground and back up to Winston Ridge, Bump 6903, and Winston Peak. This route provided me with enough nice shady spots to rest, cool down and avoid overheating. It was also my first summit of Bump 6903. This view is from Bump 6903 looking toward Winston Ridge. (7-30-2017).

New Page Additions April through June 2017.

Below is a list of links to new and updated pages between April and the end of June 2017. I’ve found the changes regarding recording the hikes I do to be manageable and I anticipate being able to continue to create or update a page for each hike I do which provides a track map and a route description (at a minimum) for the foreseeable future. That said, I continue to deal with unexpected off trail distractions, but, hope to get started writing posts for the peaks in my 12 peak challenge soon.

My favorite hike in Angeles National Forest this quarter was a tie with hikes #28 and #29. Those hikes were done consecutively exploring the hike'rs trails that connect Angeles Crest mile marker 54.10 to roughly the center of the West Ridge of Mt. Waterman, On the first day I followed the west ridge to Mt. Waterman. On the second day, I followed the west ridge back down to the south Mt. Waterman Trail near Three Points. This photo is of my favorite of the numerous rock outcrops along the west ridge.

New Page Additions January through March 2017

Below is a list of links to new and updated pages since mid-January. I’ve found the changes regarding recording the hikes I do to be manageable and I anticipate being able to continue to create or update a page for each hike I do which provides a track map and a route description (at a minimum) for the foreseeable future. That said, I continue to deal with unexpected off trail distractions, but, hope to get started writing posts for the peaks in my 12 peak challenge soon (I’ve started one for Mt. Vetter).

My favorite hike this quarter was hike #5, a snowshoeing hike to Winston Peak (one of the 12 peaks for my challenge) on 1-26-2017.
